one of our tenants did something similar...sorta...he came to me and said "we need a plumber FAST". oh dear,..this was a brand new house so I was kinda freaking out hearing that. he said "I was hanging up my flat tv on the wall and i think I hit the main water line...we are totally flooded!!!" needless to say, he got that bill. but I think he thought he found a stud...and it was a water line! |
Hey, my friend! When Mark died the hardest thing for me was going thru his papers. We always had sort of an unspoken agreement. I didn't open his mail or bank statements and he didn't open mine. I felt SO sneaky when it came time to go thru his papers!! I went thru his clothes and donated about 15 trash bags FULL. My oldest son got a lot of his sweaters and his leather jacket. He had 4 watches, and all kinds of knives and guns. I donated furniture that I knew I wouldn't use, sets of dishes, cookware, you name it. Anyway, in one of his drawers, he had EVERY card I had ever given him along with all of the ones from my sons to him. This goes back to when we first started dating. ( I have all the ones from him, too) That was the hardest thing for me. I sat there and laughed and cried for days trying to go thru all the paperwork. He had the receipt from when he bought my engagement ring and wedding band, receipts for EVERY piece of jewelry he ever bought me. Selling the house and moving was hard, because he designed the house to suit him before we ever met. (It was definitely a man's house - all rock, wood, and glass) But all the paperwork nearly destroyed me. Hang in there, Villette - you're a strong woman and growing even stronger with every day you face on your own. |

I'm taking some of his nicer things to work - some of the guys were interested in the shirts and ties - but I don't know how I'll feel if they actually WEAR them - then again - I want them to go to good use. But it was really really hard. I have about 21 bags ready for the Purple Heart people to pick up and wouldn't you know - they scheduled me the day I move out. |

Well - I take that back. Maybe not ALL mine - Why do my 2 yorkies have TWO full boxes of hair products and mine fits into a plastic gallon size baggie ?? Can someone tell that ??? |
LOL V... I have a sorta funny one. When we sold our house back in 2001, we had about 6 weeks from when we accepted an offer to when we were gonna move out. Everything worked fine, except per our sales contract, we had to take care of a few things. There had been a leak under two faucets in the past, but we had to show that those weren't leaking anymore. The inspector came by and he inspected all the plumbing and he saw that it was good! :) I swear, we couldn't get out of that house fast enough before stuff started breaking! So one week after the sale, my husband and boys were in the backyard playing ball, and they threw the baseball into our kitchen window. The buyers came to see the house and the kitchen window was all duct taped together. They're like, "um are you gonna fix that?" Of course, it was fixed a couple days later. Then, the kitchen faucet underneath started leaking again, and I had to get a plumber in to fix it. About a week later, the door to the broiler on our oven just fell off! It was only screws, so that was easily fixed, but it was almost laughable to watch things just happen like this. One week before move out, the electrical outlet in the hall bathroom stopped working. Then the day we moved, and I was vacuuming the house before we left, another bathroom outlet just croaked on me. I packed up the vacuum and said, forget it, we had to buy them a $200 warranty for the house, that can cover it. And I hi tailed it outta there before anything else just broke in front of me! |
Hi V, I don't have a funny moving story, just wanted to say hi. LOL about the bathroom connection, and walking poop all over the house..... bet that was fun cleaning up. V, I'm so sorry you're having to go though all of this. I really do feel for you. I'm sure L is very proud of you and all that you have done on your own. You're a very strong lady..... The girls are DIVAS - that's why they have so much hair stuff....LOL |
I don't have a story to share....I just want to wish you the best in your move and new home V. :aimeeyork :aimeeyork :aimeeyork |
aww V I know you're hurting right now. You're in my prayers. :hug: Here's one for you...I found out a couple days after I moved that we moved in right in front of my worst enemy that I've hated and have been hated by for many years. It might not be too funny, but it makes me laugh because what are the odds, right? I was already in Disney with my aunt when this happend (THANK GOD!!!) but a lot of people from my church came over to help my parents with the move. My mom told me that when they lifted up their bed, there were like 5 pairs of MY underwear laying on the floor. Thank you, TUCKER! :eek: |
No story either V. Just want to wish you all the best in your new home. You had better get your 'puter connected fast so you can get on here!! Hugs, Sheilagh |
